Two topologies of ultra low-power CMOS triode transconductor are proposed. Its input transistors are kept in the triode region to benefit from the lowest gm/ID ratio. The gm is adjusted by a well defined (W/L) and VDS, the latter a replica of the tuning voltage VTUNE. Transconductance down to hundreds of pA/V are obtained and used to implement a 6th order wavelet filter. The resulting design complies with a 1.5V supply and a 0.35µm CMOS process. The total power consumption of the wavelet filters using the first and second topology of transconductor equals 51nW and 114nW, respectively.
